After the return of Apophis and her husband Rigobert to the Grand Hamlet after the Second War was over, he mysteriously died from a heart attack, leaving Apophis a widow and with all his money; strangely though, she sold her house and everything she had and moved deep into the forest. Many years passed with no sign of her, but finally new residents moved into her old house and found disturbing facets to the home: candles, bones, dust, and writings all over the walls. The local guards interpreted this as a sign of demonic magic and sent militiamen to hunt her down. With the darkening of the woods into what it is today, it was hard to find her, and so the search eventually ceased.
